| likemindead | What kind of delay, alvin-laptop | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| IncrStorm | No, but they gave me a great idea, LOL. Look for docs from the package that didn't come up. | 00:01 |
| alvin-laptop | For some reason, xubuntu waits for a while before it launchs into the script | 00:03 |
| likemindead | Could be hardware related, alvin-laptop, and something needs to be blacklisted. | 00:04 |
| alvin-laptop | do you mean changing the boot sequence? | 00:05 |
| alvin-laptop | I have already disabled the floppy drive in the bios | 00:06 |
| _Techie_ | does anyone here have any experience with ATI Crossfire setups in *buntu? | 00:08 |
| likemindead | Check "Session and Startup" in the Xfce 4 Settings Manager. | 00:09 |
| alvin-laptop | I will give it a shot | 00:09 |
| knome | likemindead, but that's after the login screen | 00:10 |
| likemindead | Ah... | 00:10 |
| Sysi | there isn't something to be showed on the screen for every second | 00:11 |
| alvin-laptop | knome: burning the candle at both ends I see | 00:12 |
| _Techie_ | Sysi and knome what graphcis cards do you guys use? ATI or nVidia? | 00:13 |
| likemindead | Just how slow is your boot, alvin-laptop? | 00:14 |
| Sysi | nvidia | 00:14 |
| knome | _Techie_, i've used both, but i have no idea about crossfire | 00:14 |
| likemindead | NVIDIA and Intel here. | 00:14 |
| Sysi | crossfire sound's non-working, does google know? | 00:14 |
| alvin-laptop | Not slow...It's as though it's waiting for something - perhaps a login screen | 00:15 |
| likemindead | Okay. | 00:15 |
| knome | from my experience, i'd say that's just normal | 00:15 |
| _Techie_ | i gues ill have to document what i do when i get my new rig | 00:16 |
| likemindead | Xubuntu takes slightly longer to boot than Ubuntu for me on a couple of different laptops. Ten seconds, maybe. | 00:16 |
| alvin-laptop | Can't you force it to go directly into the load up script | 00:17 |
| knome | alvin-laptop, that would mean removing something from the boot, it does not wait just for fun ;) | 00:18 |
| alvin-laptop | it just sit there...as though it not sure what to do next | 00:18 |
| alvin-laptop | lol | 00:18 |
| _Techie_ | it could be a cycle to check whether something loaded correctly | 00:19 |
| _Techie_ | i would think that if the startup halted for a moment, it would not be without a good reason | 00:20 |
| knome | alvin-laptop, i'm sure it calculates something really important | 00:20 |
| knome | alvin-laptop, just think you were the guy who was given the pencil and paper and told to draw the login screen again and again! | 00:20 |
| alvin-laptop | I can't really complain - once in there is no waiting for anything else to load | 00:21 |
| alvin-laptop | carbon paper:P | 00:21 |
| knome | Sysi, ^ note the sarcasm in that sentence? :P | 00:21 |
| alvin-laptop | I do indeed | 00:21 |
| Sysi | knome: i was about to mention | 00:21 |
| knome | alvin-laptop, you couldn't know ;) | 00:22 |
| alvin-laptop | must be a linux joke | 00:22 |
| knome | actually a xubuntu joke... | 00:22 |
| alvin-laptop | do tell | 00:22 |
| knome | i used to work as the marketing lead, thus, drawing the login screens... | 00:22 |
| Sysi | marketing/artwork | 00:23 |
| knome | mmh | 00:23 |
| _Techie_ | ... you two never cease to amaze me | 00:23 |
| knome | _Techie_, me and... m? | 00:23 |
| knome | *me | 00:23 |
| _Techie_ | you and Sysi | 00:23 |
| knome | heh | 00:23 |
| Sysi | finnish power :P | 00:23 |
| _Techie_ | lol | 00:23 |
| knome | finnish embarrassment | 00:23 |
| knome | :P | 00:24 |
| _Techie_ | maybe one day ill head over your way and maybe some of it will rub off on me | 00:24 |
| knome | maybe... just maybe | 00:24 |
| knome | it doesn't stick very easily | 00:24 |
| Sysi | see Humon at DeaviantArt | 00:25 |
| alvin-laptop | knome: did you watch cooking with coolie - what did you think | 00:25 |
| knome | alvin-laptop, no, didn't ;) | 00:25 |
| Sysi | some jokes propably don't catch non-northern people | 00:25 |
| alvin-laptop | were can you get decent wallpaper? | 00:26 |
| alvin-laptop | There are only a few on offer in the default selection | 00:27 |
| knome | what's wrong with the ones shipped? | 00:28 |
| Sysi | xfce- / gnome-look.org | 00:28 |
| alvin-laptop | nothing marketing guru...you did a lovely job | 00:28 |
| _Techie_ | http://4walled.org/ | 00:28 |
| likemindead | I like wallbase.net or boards.4chan.org/wg/ if you're brave. | 00:28 |
| knome | alvin-laptop, hah, no really, want to know so i can improve :P | 00:28 |
| alvin-laptop | knome: The colour schemes are a little dark in my opinion... Although I like the designs it can be hard to read the screen at times | 00:29 |
| * likemindead loves the Shiki themes. | 00:30 | |
| knome | alvin-laptop, okay :) | 00:31 |
| alvin-laptop | do you ship the metacity theme by default | 00:31 |
| Sysi | xubuntu uses xfwm | 00:32 |
| knome | there's not metacity themes in xfce, but xfwm | 00:32 |
| Sysi | http://lyseo.edu.ouka.fi/~jeremustonen/kuvat/Screenshot.png | 00:32 |
| Sysi | i love and knome hates that | 00:32 |
| knome | pretty much. | 00:32 |
| alvin-laptop | techie: I tried that page - mostly porn | 00:33 |
| Sysi | i've changed irssi theme to more green | 00:33 |
| knome | http://emonk.fi/temp/Screenshot.png | 00:33 |
| knome | Sysi, note my kewl wallpaper | 00:34 |
| Sysi | yeah | 00:34 |
| likemindead | http://www.amarillolinux.com/mb/gallery/30_20_06_10_7_59_07.png | 00:34 |
| alvin-laptop | Sysi: That an excellent theme - where did you get it | 00:35 |
| likemindead | My latest. (It changes almost hourly...) | 00:35 |
| Sysi | i'll take updated screenie | 00:35 |
| Sysi | alvin-laptop: charcoal, gnome-look | 00:35 |
| Sysi | window border is self-made | 00:35 |
| alvin-laptop | totorro | 00:35 |
| Sysi | i should upload it to somewhere | 00:36 |
| knome | Sysi, try xfce-look.org :P | 00:36 |
| alvin-laptop | knome: I like the simplicity of your desktop | 00:36 |
| Sysi | knome: when i get it done.. | 00:36 |
| knome | alvin-laptop, yep, i focus on usability and getting things done | 00:36 |
| knome | alvin-laptop, contrary to Sysi, as you can see from his comment | 00:37 |
| alvin-laptop | knome: the best method in my opinion | 00:37 |
| Sysi | this is usable | 00:37 |
| Sysi | itherly i'd use more opacity | 00:37 |
| knome | Sysi, note the irony on my last :P | 00:37 |
| alvin-laptop | =-O | 00:37 |
| Sysi | knome: i noted it's only the half :) | 00:37 |
| Sysi | smile :) | 00:38 |
| Sysi | i'll upload this in a few minutes | 00:39 |
| * knome has some coke and cookies | 00:39 | |
| knome | no more beer in the house :( | 00:39 |
| alvin-laptop | :'( | 00:39 |
| Sysi | mmh coke | 00:40 |
| alvin-laptop | Hang on - you have coke and cookies? | 00:40 |
| knome | warm coke actually :| | 00:40 |
| alvin-laptop | aaahhh | 00:40 |
| knome | alvin-laptop, sure. i even have cold coke in the fridge | 00:40 |
| knome | and more cookies in the closet | 00:40 |
| alvin-laptop | you finish and your sookies | 00:40 |
| alvin-laptop | I'm mean cookes | 00:41 |
| alvin-laptop | dam it cookies | 00:41 |
| knome | ...and "finnish" | 00:41 |
| alvin-laptop | Thank you - we all know I can;t spell | 00:41 |
| alvin-laptop | another mistake | 00:41 |
| alvin-laptop | let all laugh | 00:41 |
| knome | hey, i wasn't the one who skipped english lessons! | 00:42 |
| knome | oh wait, i was | 00:42 |
| Sysi | argh this broadband | 00:44 |

| Sysi | http://lyseo.edu.ouka.fi/~jeremustonen/kuvat/Screenshot.png | 00:46 |
| cody-somerville | hi | 00:46 |
| Sysi | i guess there's even more to hate | 00:46 |
| knome | uh, all those gradients | 00:46 |
| Sysi | knome: are we the worst offtopic here? | 00:46 |
| alvin-laptop | be back in one moment | 00:46 |
| knome | Sysi, definitely | 00:47 |
| Sysi | sleepytiemz → (see the time at screenie) | 00:48 |

| patrick | HII | 03:09 |
| === patrick is now known as Guest30892 | ||
| Raggs_ | hu Guest30892 | 03:10 |
| Guest30892 | how fast is xubuntu in comparison to ubuntu | 03:11 |
| Guest30892 | ( im on a hp mini 210 ) | 03:11 |
| Raggs_ | it is 22.5 % faster | 03:12 |
| Raggs_ | that isnt a fact of course | 03:12 |
| Guest30892 | loll | 03:12 |
| Guest30892 | but like | 03:12 |
| Guest30892 | boot time is all i care about | 03:12 |
| Guest30892 | :P | 03:12 |
| Raggs_ | it is faster, not sure how much though | 03:12 |
| Guest30892 | im just hoping for something that is around 20 seconds | 03:13 |
| Raggs_ | then again ubuntu is quick also | 03:13 |
| Raggs_ | hmmm | 03:13 |
| Guest30892 | yeah im on normal ubuntu now | 03:13 |
| Guest30892 | it takes like 25 to 30 seconds | 03:13 |
| Raggs_ | worth a try i guess, possibly change what gets started at startup | 03:14 |
| Guest30892 | yeah | 03:14 |
| Guest30892 | like how long does it take you to boot up? | 03:14 |
| Guest30892 | (your system i mean :P) | 03:14 |
| Raggs_ | i havent timed it | 03:15 |
| Raggs_ | and i am running an xubuntu / ubuntu thing atm | 03:15 |
| Guest30892 | like dual? | 03:17 |
| Raggs_ | no, it started as ubuntu, and now it is xubuntu as well | 03:18 |
| Guest30892 | ohh haha | 03:18 |
| Raggs_ | and some large apps added, netbeans, virtualbox, wine | 03:19 |
| Guest30892 | alright | 03:19 |
| Guest30892 | like the thing is | 03:19 |
| Guest30892 | i like the new ubuntu, ( no brown and orange ) and the new apps and features | 03:20 |
| Raggs_ | then keep it | 03:20 |
| Guest30892 | i mean ubuntu in general | 03:20 |
| Guest30892 | like *buntus | 03:20 |
| Raggs_ | the brown was ugly | 03:20 |
| Guest30892 | the thing is about *buntus is the bloat that comes with any version no matter what, BECAUSE they are focused on making it simple to use | 03:21 |
| Guest30892 | i agree | 03:21 |
| Raggs_ | Guest30892, so you want the smallest distro possible? | 03:21 |
| Guest30892 | not smallest distro possible | 03:21 |
| Guest30892 | but like | 03:21 |
| Guest30892 | something that is nice and fast | 03:22 |
| Guest30892 | preferably not based on ubuntu | 03:22 |
| Raggs_ | lol | 03:22 |
| Guest30892 | :P | 03:22 |
| Raggs_ | how much do you know about linux? | 03:22 |
| Guest30892 | well ive been using it for a year or so | 03:23 |
| Guest30892 | more than basic knowledge i would say | 03:23 |
| Guest30892 | i can do some command line, and get my way out of problems | 03:23 |
| Raggs_ | so setting up flash and java isnt a problem | 03:23 |
| Guest30892 | not at all | 03:24 |
| Raggs_ | ever use Debian? | 03:24 |
| Guest30892 | nope | 03:24 |
| Raggs_ | possibly worth a shot, but you will lose the ease of use | 03:25 |
| Guest30892 | hmm | 03:25 |
| Raggs_ | but Debian with fxce4 is much quicker than xubuntu | 03:25 |
| Guest30892 | i just googled debian hp mini 210, and it said there was lots of problems with the compatibility with this netbook | 03:26 |
| Raggs_ | there is really nothing wrong with ubuntu | 03:26 |
| Raggs_ | or xubuntu | 03:27 |
| Guest30892 | but i like the idea of debian/arch/gentoo of installing your own de and/or window manager | 03:27 |
| Guest30892 | yeah i know | 03:27 |
| Guest30892 | im just trying to look for a really fast booting machine :P | 03:27 |
| Raggs_ | Guest30892, lfs | 03:28 |
| Guest30892 | how long would that take though | 03:32 |
| Guest30892 | :P | 03:32 |
| Raggs_ | have a good internet connection? | 03:33 |
| Guest30892 | decent | 03:33 |
| Guest30892 | i guess haha | 03:33 |
| Guest30892 | takesa while to download stuff | 03:34 |
| Guest30892 | sorrygotta goo | 03:35 |
| Guest30892 | cya | 03:35 |
| Raggs_ | you could always try to make xubuntu smaller | 03:35 |
| Colonel_Panic | I'm running Xubuntu 9.10 on a Dell Mini 9 and I just got a Kodak SD card at CVS | 06:50 |
| Colonel_Panic | for some reason, Xubuntu doesn't recognize it | 06:50 |
| Colonel_Panic | I tried it in a WinXP box, and it shows up fine | 06:51 |
| Colonel_Panic | I even formatted it as FAT32 in case it had some funky proprietary formatting on it that Linux doesn't know | 06:51 |
| Colonel_Panic | my Linux netbook still doesn't see it | 06:51 |
| Colonel_Panic | I have a number of other SDHC cards and they work fine | 06:52 |
| Colonel_Panic | any ideas? | 06:52 |
| clao | hi, i was deinstalling some CUPS programs and endended up removing the whole xubuntu desktop, now i have no window manager at all. I am going to go ahead and install xubuntu-desktop, but was wondering what else should i install? what else comes with the fresh installation of xubuntu lucid | 07:36 |
| clao | ? | 07:36 |
| alvin-laptop | Whats up everybody! whats happening in the world of xubuntu | 09:49 |
| TheSheep | !hi | 09:51 |
| ubottu | Hi! Welcome to #xubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! | 09:51 |
| Sysi | hi alvin | 09:52 |
| knome | we might actually want a different "hi" for just saying hi to people | 09:53 |
| knome | i's a bit overkill to use that one again and again and again | 09:53 |
| knome | *it's | 09:53 |
| Sysi | i think '! scares people a bit | 09:54 |
| knome | maybe | 09:54 |
| TheSheep | knome: I did it intentionally | 09:59 |
| TheSheep | knome: it should also mention #xubuntu-offtopic | 10:00 |
| knome | TheSheep, probably | 10:00 |
| alvin-laptop | Sysi: Hi dude | 10:01 |
| alvin-laptop | I was busy getting technical support from someone (no names) | 10:02 |
| * knome coughs | 10:02 | |
| alvin-laptop | :-D | 10:02 |
| alvin-laptop | completely anonymous | 10:03 |
| alvin-laptop | Can some answer this question: Do the amount of icons in you panel increase your boot up time? | 10:04 |
| knome | maybe 0.000000001 milliseconds | 10:05 |
| knome | ;) | 10:05 |
| alvin-laptop | very scientific | 10:06 |
| alvin-laptop | Sysi: Did you end upload that theme you were raving about | 10:06 |
| Sysi | no | 10:07 |
| alvin-laptop | Sysi: Do take knomes comments to heart...I'm sure he loves your art work as much as I do | 10:08 |
| knome | to be fair, i'm sure i don't | 10:08 |
| Sysi | actually i have one with multiple coloures buttons, and this current one with just tvo turguoisish | 10:08 |
| knome | but Sysi is okay with that, i'm sure | 10:08 |
| alvin-laptop | knome: I sure your secretly experiment with themes (when no one is looking) | 10:09 |
| knome | alvin-laptop, actually, i'm not even doing it secretly: http://shimmerproject.org/2010/04/29/our-plans-update/ | 10:09 |
| Sysi | not *secretly*, he just really don't like the gloss | 10:10 |
| alvin-laptop | Gloss is good...embrace the gloss knome | 10:10 |
| alvin-laptop | I stand corrected | 10:11 |
| alvin-laptop | :-( | 10:11 |
| knome | :) | 10:11 |
| knome | you are free to like gloss, i don't ;) | 10:11 |
| Sysi | (these window borders are based to theme named Glossy, i think it has disppeared from xfce-look) | 10:13 |
| alvin-laptop | In all honesty, I prefer a clean simple designs! | 10:14 |
| alvin-laptop | A minimalist approach some may say | 10:15 |
| Sysi | if there isn't license, is it public domain? | 10:17 |
| Sysi | i guess i can upload this and variations i've made | 10:17 |
| knome | Sysi, or http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/ | 10:18 |
| alvin-laptop | Ok boys...nice chatting with you. I'll catch you round. Knome, don't have to much beer or cookies (at once). Sysis, enjoy your glossy art work. | 10:18 |
| alvin-laptop | :-D | 10:18 |
| knome | :] | 10:18 |
| knome | see you alvin-laptop | 10:18 |
| Sysi | even if it's gpl i can upload it | 10:20 |
| Sysi | there's no license in(side) that tarball | 10:20 |
| knome | ah | 10:21 |
| knome | now i see where you're going to :P | 10:21 |
| knome | probably better to search the web and it's cache | 10:21 |

| IncrStorm | I'm having video issues. "Movie Player" even with the stream updates is having problems. | 13:25 |
| IncrStorm | What is the current hot video player for Xubuntu. Give me your opinion on browsers as well, because firefox is running WAY too heavy. | 13:27 |
| Sysi | IncrStorm: vlc, smplayer; chromium, midori | 13:31 |
| Sysi | adblock is big help with ferefox if you have flash installed | 13:32 |
| IncrStorm | Well they said chrome. Do you know they package? my "Software Center" is taking a dump. I'd rather use apt-get | 13:33 |
| IncrStorm | When I say they, I mean my friends. Most of which have Linux experience, some of which have Ubuntu experience, NONE of which have Xubuntu experience. | 13:35 |
| IncrStorm | Light and fluffy is what I need. | 13:35 |
| likemindead | epiphany-browser is good too. | 13:36 |
| drizzt_ | i've tried to use midory but it segfaulted constantly | 13:36 |
| likemindead | sudo apt-get install chromium && sudo apt-get install epiphany | 13:36 |
| drizzt_ | and epiphany uses the same engine that firefox | 13:36 |
| Sysi | it's still lighter | 13:37 |
| Sysi | midori works pretty well for me, exept occasional crashes | 13:37 |
| likemindead | No, drizzt_ epiphany is now WebKit. | 13:38 |
| likemindead | Not Gecko. | 13:38 |
| Sysi | isn't there both engines available? | 13:38 |
| likemindead | Not in the latest versions, I don't think. | 13:39 |
| IncrStorm | Actually, I would prefer advice on video | 13:40 |
| IncrStorm | Either the codec sucks, or the player does. | 13:41 |
| likemindead | VLC is always a winner. | 13:42 |
| likemindead | !vlc | 13:42 |
| ubottu | Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS2 (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs | 13:42 |
| Sysi | i managed to play h264 on netbook only with VLC | 13:43 |
| IncrStorm | Kaffeine took a dump on me, something about a database. Haven't even seen Totem Xine or VLC | 13:49 |
| IncrStorm | !codecs ??? Forgive my ignorance, but I HAVE been looking for updated codecs. Actually haven't found one for Indeo 5 yet. | 13:50 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 13:50 |
| Sysi | restricted-extras contains those also | 13:51 |

| Quadrescence | Why is the "Other" section of the menu not fixed? | 14:21 |
| Quadrescence | (the applications menu) | 14:21 |
| knome | Quadrescence, "fixed" in which way? | 14:23 |
| Quadrescence | Fixed in the way that icons don't randomly disappear, or that the entire Other menu doesn't disappear (typically the latter, typically after installing new software) | 14:24 |
| * likemindead has no "Other" section. | 14:25 | |
| Quadrescence | It's there especially when wine software is installed | 14:26 |
| knome | Quadrescence, yes, because wine installs menu items in the "other" menu | 14:26 |
| IncrStorm | call me an idiot but I've got instructions for installing a bin package, but what about a deb package? Shouldn't that be easier? | 15:03 |
| TheSheep | yes, you just double-click on the deb | 15:04 |
| Arpad2 | hello! | 17:44 |
| Arpad2 | how can be a dvd+rw disk formated? | 17:44 |
| Sysi | with brasero, propably | 17:45 |
| Arpad2 | i cant find it there | 17:45 |
| subuntu | i just installed 9.10 and it came up fine, but resolution was bad at 800 x 600, so i installed nvidia restricted driver (175 - recommended) but then when i restarted got black screen, not 'no signal' but 'out of range' | 17:45 |
| subuntu | heeeeeellllllllp! i installed 9.10 for my friend (and wiped her xp), and now i don't have any screen. after i installed nvidia drivers and restarted monitor black, message says 'out of range' | 17:54 |
| Arpad2 | subuntu: try at #ubuntu also:) | 17:55 |
| subuntu | at this point, if i could just get the nvidia drivers uninstalled and go back to 800 x 600 at least i could leave her with a working system today | 17:55 |
| subuntu | Arpad2: i've been all over the place today, it seems like i am somehow going to have to edit an xorg.conf file, and i need help to do it | 17:56 |
| Sysi | get to grub menu during boot and select failsafe graphics | 17:57 |
| Sysi | waht was the button again.. | 17:57 |
| subuntu | sysi, hold shift key i think? | 17:57 |
| Sysi | worth a try | 17:58 |
| subuntu | sysi, i got into grub menu, but i don't see a failsafe grafix mode | 17:59 |
| Sysi | hmm, i'm not sure with grub2 | 17:59 |
| subuntu | theres linux generic, and linux recovery, and memtest, and memtest serial | 17:59 |
| Sysi | try recovery | 18:00 |
| subuntu | should i try to edit it, or just enter to recovery mode? | 18:00 |
| Sysi | just enter | 18:00 |
| subuntu | k, got six options: rsume, clean, dpkg, grub, netroot, and root | 18:02 |
| subuntu | *resume | 18:02 |
| Sysi | clean could be | 18:02 |
| subuntu | clean, says try to make free space | 18:03 |
| subuntu | this is a new installation, so i don't think i need to make free space do i? | 18:04 |
| Sysi | should not | 18:04 |
| subuntu | is there a root command i can use to disable the nvidia drivers? | 18:05 |
| subuntu | the last two options are: drop to root shell prompt with networking, or simply drop to root shell prompt | 18:08 |
| Sysi | you can make it from root shell | 18:10 |
| Sysi | i don't remember how, google maybe does | 18:10 |
| subuntu | ok, how :) | 18:10 |
| subuntu | on page http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-980081.html there is a post by perfectska that has a command to disable a particular nvidia driver sudo apt-get remove nvidia-glx-177 nvidia-177-kernel-source nvidia-settings but if i remember correctly, the driver installed was (175), not (177) | 18:18 |
| Sysi | switch the number | 18:19 |
| subuntu | says 'couldn't find package nvidia-glx-175' | 18:21 |
| Sysi | try "current" | 18:22 |
| subuntu | ummmm, where the number is substitute 'current' ? | 18:22 |
| Sysi | "aptitude search nvidia" | 18:23 |
| Sysi | it shows in left what's installed | 18:23 |
| subuntu | its showing A LOT .. whole screen ful of stuff, including references to nvidia 180, 185, 96, 173 | 18:25 |
| lighta | can't u use grep to found what u want ? | 18:29 |
| subuntu | i can do whatever you tell me what (how) to do :) | 18:29 |
| subuntu | i'm just freaking out cause i just wiped out my friends xp and now she don't have a screen ... arrrrrrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhh | 18:30 |
| lighta | let's try aptitude search nvidia | grep current ? | 18:32 |
| subuntu | sysi, the last output from aptitude search nvidia is nvidia-settings can i run that to disable the drivers? | 18:32 |
| Sysi | it's graphical | 18:32 |
| subuntu | oh, so i won't get it | 18:32 |
| Sysi | and you'd need to use ubuntu's tool | 18:33 |
| subuntu | lighta how do i make that perpendicular slash for your command? | 18:33 |
| lighta | with 6 | 18:34 |
| subuntu | what do u mean by 6 | 18:35 |
| lighta | well on my keyboard | is under 6 number but you could just copy and past | 18:35 |
| subuntu | its a different machine, i'm on the laptop talkin to you so can't copy/paste .. searching now for keyboard symbol | 18:40 |
| lighta | what's your keyboard ? azerty or qwerty ? | 18:42 |

| JasperNL_Laptop | ah :D | 20:01 |
| JasperNL_Laptop | perfect ;) | 20:01 |
| JasperNL_Laptop | anyone can help me:O | 20:01 |
| lighta | JasperNL_Laptop, don't ask to ask just ask | 20:02 |
| JasperNL_Laptop | hmm o_O | 20:02 |
| JasperNL_Laptop | i can't open a app which has to run at normal Ubuntu | 20:02 |
| lighta | did you gave him the right to run ? | 20:03 |
| JasperNL_Laptop | uhm, i did right-mousebutton and then | 20:03 |
| JasperNL_Laptop | rmb -> properties -> permissions | 20:03 |
| JasperNL_Laptop | everything on Read & Write, Group: Admin and Program [v] Allow this file to run as program | 20:04 |
| moetunes | start the app from a terminal and look for errors JasperNL_Laptop | 20:04 |
| JasperNL_Laptop | where can i find the terminal :$ | 20:05 |
| JasperNL_Laptop | in CentOS he was easy to find o,o but i don't find him here >_> | 20:05 |
| lighta | right clik > terminal | 20:05 |
| JasperNL_Laptop | >_< that was easy | 20:05 |
| lighta | well it is | 20:06 |
| JasperNL_Laptop | now i need to navigate to Documents -> app-map -> app? | 20:06 |
| lighta | give axact path but you can do it like this cd /go/on/this/path | 20:07 |
| JasperNL_Laptop | It's in my Documents Directory o,o | 20:07 |
| JasperNL_Laptop | other idea ;) move to the map and do there open terminal XD | 20:08 |
| lighta | then you could probably just use cd ./Documents | 20:08 |
| lighta | yes | 20:08 |
| JasperNL_Laptop | hmm | 20:08 |
| JasperNL_Laptop | ok, i'm still there, how to run it? | 20:08 |
| JasperNL_Laptop | just the application name doesn't work :< | 20:08 |
| lighta | is it a sh ? | 20:09 |
| JasperNL_Laptop | sh ? | 20:09 |
| lighta | I guess no | 20:09 |
| JasperNL_Laptop | it's a small-CPU server console program ;) | 20:09 |
| lighta | don't you have to run it on root ? try sudo name ? | 20:10 |
| JasperNL_Laptop | run on root o.o | 20:10 |
| JasperNL_Laptop | so on properties permissions: groups: root | 20:10 |
| JasperNL_Laptop | ? | 20:10 |
| lighta | no just type sudo progname in terminal | 20:11 |
| lighta | I don't really know graphic thing | 20:11 |
| JasperNL_Laptop | hmmm | 20:11 |
| JasperNL_Laptop | sudo mta-server | 20:11 |
| JasperNL_Laptop | sudo: mta -server: command not found | 20:11 |
| subuntu | how can i install remote help assistant in the livecd version? | 20:13 |
| JasperNL_Laptop | I don't know o.o | 20:14 |
| moetunes | JasperNL_Laptop: you will have to rename the app to mta_server | 20:15 |
| JasperNL_Laptop | ok ;) | 20:16 |
| JasperNL_Laptop | renamed o,o | 20:16 |
| JasperNL_Laptop | but he says:Command not found | 20:16 |
| JasperNL_Laptop | so i think the problem isn't the arguement (mta-server) but sudo o.o | 20:17 |
| moetunes | JasperNL_Laptop: no - the terminal read the command as mta with the option -server | 20:17 |
| JasperNL_Laptop | ah;) | 20:18 |
| moetunes | JasperNL_Laptop: chmod +x ./mta_server | 20:18 |
| JasperNL_Laptop | sudo: mta_server: commandn ot found | 20:19 |
| JasperNL_Laptop | same bug when i do sudo | 20:19 |
| JasperNL_Laptop | it doensn't need to be /sudo? | 20:20 |
| moetunes | maybe no - make sure the file is in the directory the terminal is in | 20:20 |
| moetunes | do ls - l | 20:20 |
| JasperNL_Laptop | ls -l ? | 20:20 |
| JasperNL_Laptop | ah ;) | 20:21 |
| JasperNL_Laptop | i see something | 20:21 |
| moetunes | it will list the dir with each files permissions | 20:21 |
| JasperNL_Laptop | ye ;) mta_server doesn't have the permissions which mta-server have ;) | 20:21 |
| JasperNL_Laptop | so i need to do chmod ? | 20:21 |
| moetunes | JasperNL_Laptop: chmod +x ./mta_server | 20:22 |
| lighta | chmod or the graphic thing you did for other same thing | 20:23 |
| JasperNL_Laptop | mta_server has the permisisons now: -rwxr-xr-x | 20:23 |
| moetunes | run it then | 20:23 |
| moetunes | I have to go - bye | 20:24 |
| JasperNL_Laptop | ok | 20:24 |
| lighta | did it run ? | 20:24 |
| JasperNL_Laptop | no :< | 20:24 |
| lighta | no error nothing ? | 20:24 |
| JasperNL_Laptop | i can't run him in the explorer | 20:26 |
| lighta | hmm was it an archive or something like that ? | 20:31 |
| JasperNL_Laptop | o,o | 20:33 |
| JasperNL_Laptop | no, it was just a direcotry? | 20:33 |
| lighta | I wondering if it's a real prog or you musn't ./configue or majefile something | 20:33 |
| JasperNL_Laptop | o.o | 20:35 |

| jimisrvrox | hey guys im trying to dual boot xubuntu and xp for a friend of mine and im in Gparted but the whole disk is flagged as boot and so im trying to part it in half to install xubuntu...' | 23:51 |
| jimisrvrox | and so its not allowing me to resize the partition | 23:51 |
| Sysi | did you defrag xp? | 23:52 |
| Sysi | \that partition | 23:53 |
| jimisrvrox | no I havent defraged xp | 23:53 |
| jimisrvrox | are you saying that I should resize the partition in XP first | 23:53 |
| jimisrvrox | I was thinking about that I had seen some instructions that you had to do that first or something like that | 23:54 |
| Sysi | i say that you can't shrink "full" partition | 23:54 |
| Sysi | or does it give some error message? | 23:55 |
| jimisrvrox | right its not allowing me to srink it | 23:55 |
| jimisrvrox | shrink* | 23:55 |
| jimisrvrox | what if I took the boot flag off of it could I resize it then? | 23:56 |
| jimisrvrox | also Sysi im getting that 46 clusters are referenced multiple times and saying to run chkdsk /f on windows | 23:58 |
